The EMSL team has been developing and managing renewable energy assets for over 20 years
EMSL was originally a group company alongside Eco2 Limited, a renewable energy development business that was owned by the same private shareholder group. Eco2 Limited was established in November 2002 as a joint venture between independent electricity supply business Economy Power and an experienced management team that included EMSL’s current CEO, Darren Williams. Economy Power was sold to EON in 2005 but the funding shareholders of the company decided to continue with Eco2 Limited and remain in place.
Eco2 Limited successfully developed a portfolio of renewable energy projects with a combined value of over £1.2bn, including four windfarms (62MW installed capacity), five landfill gas generation sites (10MW installed capacity) and six biomass projects (217MW of installed capacity). Prior to Eco2 Limited, two of EMSL’s directors were previously instrumental in growing the Energy Power Resources biomass portfolio (total installed capacity of 180MW) that is now owned by Octopus investments.
EMSL was formed to provide MSA and OMA services to the projects developed by Eco2 Limited to provide a seamless transition from development to construction and subsequently operation for the investors in the assets. The development team at Eco2 Limited transferred across to EMSL and, alongside the expansion through recruitment, this ensured that each of the Eco2 Limited projects delivered their full potential.
In July 2022 EMSL was sold to investment manager, Palisade Real Assets Limited to support its UK and European growth and now EMSL is a fully integrated subsidiary providing asset management services to both internal portfolio projects and third party client projects, with a plan to expand further over the coming years.
